Looking for Adventure? Become a PADI Dive Instructor!

The oceans cover 70 % of our earth. Knowing that, it’s always baffling to realize we know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the abysses of our own waters. That is why it’s riveting to make a career out of exploring our liquid world and introduce other people to it. Welcome to your office, scuba diver!

Join Ollava and their partner, Oceanus, for a full blown scuba internship that will take you from land dwelling mammal all the way to certified PADI Dive Instructor. You will be introduced to the wonders of our underwater habitat, learning invaluable skills along the way. Develop your scuba know-how, but also tone your mind and body. Understand the principles of sales and become a full dive professional that will be an asset to any dive organisation worldwide. All of this in a fun and organic way.

There is going to be a logic to your growth. You will go from learning how to dive, to becoming a key member of the dive industry and finally becoming a professional dive leader and instructor, ready to pass on your knowledge and look after people independently.

More than just enrolling in an internship to be taught a skill, you’ll be joining a community. You and your fellow interns will bond and become lifelong friends through total immersion. You’ll live together, learn together, grow together and follow each other’s exploits further down the line.

We are offering a unique experience in quaint little Simon’s Town, the diving Mecca of False Bay, Cape Town. From shore entries to a vast array of wrecks, there’s a diving adventure for every taste and every level. You’ll get to experience them all as well as all other things False Bay has to offer like hiking, surfing and interacting with the beautifully eclectic group of people that live here.

After your internship, we will help you hit the ground running, or rather finning. Tell us what it is that you want to do as a dive instructor and we will put you in touch with the right people. It will be up to you to sway them, but we will give you all the tools to succeed. We are looking forward to seeing the pictures of your new office, we’re sure it will be sandy, sunny and wet!
